According to Jean Louis Toye Kopema, an HIV patient in DRC,” Before, we used to have food rations, that doesn’t exist anymore, that’s all in the past. The medical care, the financing in the HIV sector, all that no longer exists.
The coronavirus or Ebola eclipsed the HIV. This is not possible. So, I’m asking that the funds for the HIV sector to be really consistent, otherwise people will die”, said Jean Louis Toye Kopema, an HIV patient in DRC.
Also, Munsana Gashinge, regional coordinator of the HIV/AIDS national program, said: “In terms of supply, we depend a lot on medicines coming from abroad. We need to advocate so that we don’t have a break in terms of supply. And, as per the funding, with the arrival of COVID and Ebola, the funding tends to be down. So, we need to continue the advocacy with our partners to increase funding and not abandon HIV”. jamb results
